Product Description

The Smashing Pumpkins are back! After seven years, the acclaimed Pumpkins have returned with Zeitgeist. Featuring the single "Tarantula," this new sound is not to be missed.

Amazon.com

Inside the buzzing hive of Smashing Pumpkins' guitars is clearly where bandleader Billy Corgan feels most comfortable. So, after a seven-year hiatus for the short-lived group Zwan and his surprisingly sunny 2005 solo album, Corgan has revived the Pumpkins in all the six-string-spattered shades of emotional gray that made them one of the greatest bands of the alt-rock era. Longtime drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, along with famed boardsmiths Roy Thomas Baker and Terry Date as well as Corgan himself coproduced. Chamberlin also supports mountainous layers of guitar with his fiercest playing. This is a version of the band dedicated to early bare-knuckled form, with a few exceptions: Corgan's grown into a more powerful wordsmith and his lengthy guitar solo explorations of yore are replaced with a trim, barbed textural approach that's ultimately more vicious. That is, until the centerpiece "United States" stretches into an epic punk-metal-informed sibling of Jimi Hendrix's "Machine Gun," with Corgan's strings singing like explosions and twisting metal as he warbles about revolution. Much of this album conjures literal and sonic visions of apocalypse, but there's grace, too, in the blithe grind of the hopeful "That's the Way (My Love Is)" and the melodic "Neverlost." Overall, Corgan's captivating effort to mine both the spirit of these turbulent times and the soul of his defining band is a smashing success. --Ted Drozdowski

The Smashing Pumpkins 2.0 - Different Lineup, but still rocks!

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

Like just about the rest of the fans of this excellent alternative rock band, I was really blown back by the loss of D'arcy and James. I couldn't imagine the Pumpkins without these two very magnetically charged artists. And I miss them sorely! Yet as time passed I was starved for new offerings from this iconic foursome. There will never again be the high energy like that they generated within "Siamese Dream", "Gish", or their magnificent opus "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness". But I must say that this album, Zeitgeist, has its very own dynamic "wall of sound". Billy still has it going on! And Jimmy Chamberlin is still the most powerful drummer on the planet! Included with the 15 songs-some hard rocking-some inigmatic tomes, is a bonus DVD that explains the genesis of this hard hitting collection! It reveals the fact that ALL of the instruments (besides of course the drums, played by Jimmy), are soley played by Billy Corgan. I strongly suggest that if you are a fan of the Smashing Pumpkins, you buy this CD/DVD and I therefore very highly recommend this album!

Let me start off by saying that most people who hate or dislike this cd come into one of three categories:
1. It's not Mellon Collie, Gish, or Siamese Dream.
2. Its not the Smashing Pumpkins...it's just Corgan and Chamberlain.
3. Billy Corgan's religion or politics (or lack there of) on this cd.

Of course there are those who just don't like the sound of it, which from experience if you don't like Corgan's voice on anything else or his lyrics then why buy a new SP cd. Anyway before i talk about the album i would like to address the 3 main reasons people hate Zeitgeist.

1. If you love only one pumpkins album or only those 3 then tough. There will never be another release like those. In fact Corgan has said in several interviews that he doesn't want to retread the same waters again. He has even changed songs dramatically so they don't sound too similar to already released pumpkins albums.

2. Well this one actually has a point. James Iha and D'arcy aren't here. They were a part of the original pumpkins and even though they probably didn't have a whole lot of input on most of Sp's albums they did lend a certain bit of fun to them. My main complaint about Zeitgeist is that its totally serious. There are no fun songs on here and i guess that bit of the Pumpkins is long gone. (Although Machina and Adore lacked a lot of that feeling as well) However, unlike a lot of people i still see this as a pumpkins record because its only BC and JC and as long as its just them then i can forgive the absence of James and D'arcy. Although the new live lineup kicks butt, but then thats another topic altogether.

3. Corgan is weird. His lyrics are cool. His religion is a main part of his life now and a main focus in the music of SP. If you disagree or dislike it then tough. I did however find the lack of any political stance on this album refreshing. It lays out the landscape and the lyrics and lets the listener judge just like every other sp album.

Now finally to the review. Zeitgeist took a few listens but now i have my favorites as well as a couple of songs i dont really care for. Starz, Bring the Light, Doomsday Clock, and Tarantula are favorites. I don't care for Neverlost or Come on lets go(which sounds like a bad Zwan song). The rest of the album is decent and for the most part it brings back nostalgia. It's too bad that 3 of the best songs were left off the album in Steller, Death from Above, and Zeitgeist. These are easily attainable off the net but it would have been nice if they were included all on the same cd. Another great one Gossamer missed the recording process entirely and is now a live only song. Even if you hate the album do yourself a favor and give gossamer a listen. It could be a top 5 SP song of all time easily.

Zeitgeist overall isn't a masterpiece and isn't a so-called return to form, but it does rock pretty hard. It may take a few listens but like all the pumpkins albums it grows on you. A re release with the 3 songs added would be great. However, this isn't going to happen so Zeitgeist is what it is. A very good album thats better than most of the crap thats out there these days. Do yourself a favor if your a Pumpkins or Corgan fan and pick it up if you haven't already and give it a shot to grow on you.

Music fan

A great re-start

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2007

There is no bigger Pumpkins fan than me on earth, there are probably many on my level who think the same way about themselves, but I can't imagine someone actually eclipsing my love for this band and their work leading up to Zeitgeist.

I have been called everything from "obsessed" to "weird" about my undying love for their music.

As far as Zeitgeist, you have to understand that in the 6 years or so the band was broken up prior to Zeitgeist, I and I'm sure many of you reading this threw up in our collective mouths at the sorry excuse for "rock" music that we were being offered out there.

When the Pumpkins broke up late in 2000, I was what I would consider a pretty big fan, they were my favorite band at the time.

It was during this seemingly endless wasteland of the years since that happened that I would go back to their catalog and ironically, I became a SUPER fan during the years the band was broken up.

Upon hearing of the reunion, I was slightly disappointed that James and DArcy were not involved but let's face it Pumpkin Heads, Billy and Jimmy WERE and ARE the Pumpkins and always will be.

Obviously Billy is irreplaceable but if you had to pick out of the 3 other band members, Jimmy is a CLEAR choice as the other irreplaceable member.

What many consider their best album "Siamese Dream" was recorded by Billy and Jimmy only.

Don't get me wrong, DArcy and James will always be Pumpkins to me but I was able to accept the new members, the new guitarist is no James Iha but Ginger Reyes is BETTER than DArcy and HOTTER too if you want to go there....LOL.

OK, on to Zeitgeist now....

After Billy's solo album, which I was lukewarm on, my expectations were kind of low for a Pumpkins fanatic when Zeitgeist was released.

Perhaps that has something to do with my opinion that it is a VERY GOOD album.

Billy said in so many words that this was just the beginning of their rebirth, he wanted to make a straight ahead rock album and based on all of that, it is really good.

Billy is a genius and a perfectionist and I think he wants to save the next "Mellon Collie" for next time.

This album brought a whole new legion of fans and the next one....mark my words....will be their best since "Mellon Collie", the best album in music history in my opinion.

He needed to get their name back out there first and Zeitgeist accomplished that feat.

Compared to their previous works, it is average at best but as a sad statement of what rock music has become during that time, it's probably the best rock CD of the last few years, which isn't saying much I guess.

It's just great to see America's greatest band EVER back in business and rocking like they used to.

As far as the album itself, Tarantula is the best pure rock song they have made since Bullet With Butterfly Wings and while the album is maybe too one sided at times towards heavier stuff than the band's amazing balladier side, it was automatically better than any of the crap that was out there competing against it.

Repeated listens have rewarded me with some new appreciation of alot of the songs and as a (re) starting point for the Pumpkins rebirth, I am very pleased.

Best album

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 9, 2019

One of the pumpkins best albums and I’ve been a fan since 1994. Has a feel of early days but with a deeper heavier sound. Lyrics are fantastic as always but the production is tight and the songs are solid.
I was going through some tough times when this came out and walking to this album helped me.
It has a heaviness the other albums didn’t have but still maintains the melodic poetic style of the band

Brilliant Album

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a truly high class album. The big problem William Patrick Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlain have is that their 90s success seems to mean some reviewers do not look at this album through a fair lens but instead spout bias and negativity without giving it a fair chance.

If you are a smart, fair person who likes alternative music then this is a masterclass in lyrics, musicianship and drumming.

There is not one bad song on the album and it actually sounds refresher and more important in 2020 than it did when it was originally released.

Please give it a fair chance, it is superb. 10/10.

I just don't understand the negativity, one of my favorite SP albums.

It's not Siamese Dream or Mellon Collie, it's a different album, get over it.....now that's cleared up, on to my short review.

I love and appreciate it when other people get all meticulous and go through the track list etc., but I don't do it myself!
This is a great album, if it was their first release instead of Gish, it would still not be as big as or loved as much as the a fore mentioned albums, but it would be appreciated and given the credit it deserves, I'm pretty sure. There are a lot of reasons people like to pooh on this newer, (not newest), version of the SP's, both the fans and critics, but the fact of the matter is, that if you take away all the moronic, pointless comparisons and negativity, and just let the album speak for it's self, it more than stands up with most of the SP's back catalog. Music is personal, so of course everyone can't and won't feel the same, but I believe some of the negativity towards Zeitgeist is jumping on the bandwagon stuff, also it's a grower, it makes you work a bit for your reward, that being, a very interesting, haunting in places, record, the production isn't bad, it's different and makes the album less, not more bland, it just takes a bit of time to peel this onion. In reality it's a 4-4.5 star review, but I feel like defending this album a bit, sticking up for it against the jock bullies, that being said, Amazon is the place were it seems to have the highest amount of acceptance, Billy should have called it, "Listen without Prejudice"
